What drives the price
Existing Render Condition. Loose, hollow, or flaking render must be chipped away before new coatings can bond. We treat damaged zones with facade repair & renovation using structural mesh to prevent new cracks from opening.
Building Height and Access. Working high up requires safe metal towers to reach the upper walls. The town hall charges monthly permit fees if equipment stands on public streets or pavements.
Selected Coating Material. Special elastic paints protect walls from sea air and winter rain better than standard paint. This flexible coat seals fine cracks while letting trapped moisture escape from inside the walls.
Biological Growth and Dirt. Red dust from Saharan calima storms, sea salt, and black mold require dedicated washing. We apply specialized treatments during facade & render cleaning to clear deep stains before primer touches the wall.

Worked examples
Villa Facade Washing
A detached villa needs power washing to remove calima dust across 180 square meters of wall render. The surface also receives a wash to stop mold and algae growth.
Exterior Wall Crack Stabilization
Damaged exterior walls require chipping away loose render and installing structural mesh across 45 square meters before repainting.
Villa Exterior Repainting
Complete surface preparation, priming, and two coats of weather-resistant elastomeric paint applied across 260 square meters of accessible walls.
Community Technical Assessment
A community of owners requests a full physical inspection and written photographic assessment for presentation at their general meeting.
Your questions, answered
What affects facade repair costs on the Costa del Sol? +
Total costs depend on work access, crack depth, and the chosen protective paint. The price is set after an on-site check to measure the building.
Why does scaffolding incur municipal permit fees on the Costa del Sol? +
The local town hall requires a permit when work platforms stand on public roads or footpaths. This legal permit protects the public and involves council fees plus monthly street space charges.
Is crack repair included in standard exterior wall painting? +
Standard painting covers simple wall washing and light surface filler. Deep cracks and loose render require solid repairs with strengthening net before paint goes on.
How does coastal moisture affect the choice of facade coating? +
Sea air pushes salt and water straight into porous exterior walls. Coastal homes need flexible, water-blocking paints that keep rain out without trapping damp inside.
What happens if I am not happy with the facade work? +
